A Discussion on Excerpts from the Scriptures of the Pure Land School
淨土宗精要法語討論
30. The Contemplation Sutra - Appearing Immediately in Response to Mind (continued)
Question 30.4 : I recite Amitabha Buddha’s Name and wish to be reborn in his Pure Land—does Amitabha Buddha know?
Answer: Amitabha Buddha’s Dharma-body pervades all places; there is nothing he does not know. With his Buddha-eye, Amitabha gazes across the ten directions to see whether there is anyone reciting his Name. With his Buddha-ear, he listens day and night to hear whether anyone is calling his Name. Amitabha Buddha is fully aware of every single person who recites his Name or thinks of him. He embraces them with His light, never abandoning them, and at the end of their lives he comes to welcome them without exception.
30. 《觀經》應心即現 (續)
30.4 問：我念佛願往生，阿彌陀佛知道嗎？
答：阿彌陀佛的法界身遍一切處，無有不知。阿彌陀佛以佛眼十方遍覽， 「有否念我名號之人」；以佛耳晝夜傾聽，「有否稱我名號之人」。一稱一念之人 ，阿彌陀佛無有不知；攝取光明不捨其身，臨終來迎，無有空過。
Namo Amituofo!
